THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW NEAR INVISIBLE SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT
A COUPE OF TINY SPECKLES OF STATIC BUT THAT'S ALL
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS STANDARD.
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT
RICH AND VIBRANT INKS
THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE A LITTLE RUB
THERE IS A LITTLE SHELF RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR BENDS AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES EITHER.
THERE ARE NINE TINY PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINETHREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE. A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A FEW TINY FLECKS OF SURFACE RUB
THE SPINE HAS A LITTLE FLATTENING AND SONE RUB TO THE TOP LEADING EDGE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT.
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
